Default intake manifold

i just installed a new intake manifold and throttle body but didnt get the performance i wanted. my friend who is a service manager for a ford dealership drove it and said i should have more power then i do. i was wandering if i should get bigger injectors? also, if i do get bigger injectors, i have the c&l MAF, do all i have to do is order a new tube from them and install the injectors or is there more to it?

Default RE: intake manifold

with just the intake an tb u wont notice much of a differance because teh overall Hp increase isnt that substantial. if u really want to feel teh differance your upgrades make, get u set of gears and nice set of heads. That stock crap is very restrictive and doesnt allow for your engine to make teh power it could be. I just did that and boy what a differance... and i have teh exhibition of speed ticket to prove it ! [:@]

well try putting in a set of 1.7 rocker and this will help with flow..what size t/b ? anything bigger than 65 is a waste on a stock engine what is the size of the maf?..injector size is not whats needed at this point as the 19's are good to like 270hp or so..
